HOW TO QUALIFY YOUR ACCOUNT:Qualify your new Salem Five account by completing two direct deposit transactions over $250 or six online bill pays or 20 debit transactions within 60 days.Once you have registered and qualified your account, you will receive a $100 Visa® Reward Card.

Looks like you have to open a new account, then follow the OP's link, register your account, then complete the requirements within 60 days of account opening. It's a little confusing because it doesn't look you actually enroll in the promo while opening your checking account.

ACH push count as DD? Can you use a CC for opening deposit? Also, valid in CA?

Upon further research:1. No credit card to fund.2. DD must be payroll, etc.3. If you decide to receive paper statements, you will receive a $2.95 fee, although if you select electronic statements, the account is absolutely free.4. $100 minimum initial deposit.

I don't see any bill pay on their website. Does anyone know how to access bill pay for eOne Checking?

After you log-in click "make payments" at the top.

Is it a hard pull?

Strange, as it is right on the homepage. I do not remember signing up for "Bill Pay" or anything either so it should be there. Maybe when the funds are available it will show up.

For me it was a hard pull on Equifax

Should you first open the account and then fill out the $100 promo form? Or vice versa? Or does it not matter?

CSR said (yes, they have actual people available by phone on Sunday) they do BOTH an Equifax hard pull and a ChexSystem inquiry. I've never encountered this before, but she seemed pretty knowledgable.

Edit - the Equifax pull may be only because I would be starting the account online, from a "not Massachusetts" locale.

They didn't pay out the bonus to me when I applied and did the DD last year.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I think based on that info. I'll either ignore these guys, or perhaps make 1 more call to a CSR there and grill them very, very carefully on whether out-of-state applicants are accepted at all, or are held to a much higher threshold for acceptance.

I put a Maryland address down and it opened for me. I did get denied for whatever reason and had to have someone manually review it. There are no negatives on my reports but my credit history is only two years old so maybe that was it.
